Shiite Mosque Southwest of Manama Attacked by Gunfire

Activists on social media outlets circulated pictures and information about a Shiite mosque being targeted by gunfire in Al-Hemla, southwest of the Bahraini capital Manama, on Wednesday (December 16, 2015).

The information said that the Al-Abd Al-Saleh Mosque was attacked by gunfire yet there were no reports about injured worshipers.

The Grand Hemla Obsequies had been attacked, two months ago, by gunfire that caused only material damage, leaving no injuries.

The Jaafaria Endowments Administration (Waqf) said at the time that it has a surveillance camera recording of the vehicle driven by the perpetrators of the attack.

One of the ruling family members regularly attacks protestors in Al-Hemla and even opens fire at them, yet the Interior Ministry hasn't taken any measures against him yet.
